Frog Design Launches Print Magazine

Frog Design is jumpin' into print. Yup. They've just launched a new magazine called 'design mind', written by frog designers, technologists and strategists. We got a sneek peek at the debut issue - full of juicy articles on China's mobile market, the potential of in-game brand placement and the creative process, this publication has as a goal to "open up new channels for frog to communicate [their] thought leadership in a highly visual and dynamic way."

Still remember tadpoles on site .. frog's daycare facility, Hartmut's absolutely fantastic insights and thoughts on design and Theodore Roszak's interview on the last page.

There's a (heated?) dialogue going on between John Thackara and Cameron Sinclair over JT's recent piece on Design Observer. If you missed the original text, we blogged it a few days ago. Choc full of Thackarian nuggets on the benefits of staying in the backyard, the essay focuses on the...
